Loop Engage 2 earplugs

Loop Earplugs is a Belgian lifestyle brand that has redefined hearing protection by combining acoustic engineering with stylish, jewelry-like design. Founded in 2016 by Maarten Bodewes and Dimitri O, the company sought to create earplugs that people would actually want to wear, moving away from the industrial aesthetic of traditional foam plugs. Their products, such as the Engage series shown here, are specifically designed to filter sound rather than block it entirely, making them popular for social gatherings, concerts, and neurodivergent individuals seeking sensory regulation.

While the brand is proudly Belgian in its design and corporate identity, the physical manufacturing of the earplugs is carried out in China to scale production for their global market. Loop remains an independent company headquartered in Antwerp, maintaining full control over their innovative research and development. The brand has seen explosive growth worldwide, positioning itself as a leader in the modern hearing wellness category by focusing on both functional excellence and aesthetic appeal.
